Repair Cafe South Down, one of the longest-running repair cafés in Northern Ireland. We launched in 2020 emerging from community discussions on climate change in the area and is part of a series of initiatives of the Dolmens Climate Action Network.

We hold repair events monthly, alternating between Castlewellan and Downpatrick, with occasional visits to other communities in our area. 

The team is passionate about building community, tackling waste and giving people an alternative to throwing things away and buying more stuff. 

We offer electrical, mechanical, fabric and textile, bike, general and clock repairs, as well as sharpening and tool repairs, thanks to support from Tools for Solidarity. There is no need to book – just come along to one of our events.
